Why would barasit signify segholization rather than a peculiar [br] environment which calls for vowel interpolation?
Why would segholization be related vowel shortening? The vowels didn't become shorter from ancient calbi to segholate cAlab-calb-celev.

Why do you think this list signifies segholization?

I write:
I don't think it does. But in comparison with the transliteration scheme of Origen: barasith versus brisith or birsith (note that Epiphanius will have been working with an eta already itacized), we're clearly dealing with the same process of the shortening/sharpening of vowels in the two centuries since Origen's time that segholization is likewise a symptom of.
